A weekly glimpse of what moms (and dads) are saying on the Web.

“When my wife and I were first discussing the possibility of having a second child, one of the questions that kept coming up was… ‘Do you think we’ll love it as much as we love our first?’ Hmmmm. Good question. Totally impossible to answer without sounding cold and heartless but a very good question. I honestly didn’t know the answer. But I always heard from my parents and grandparents that you love each child differently. Not more, just differently. Yeah right. What happens when one kid is smarter than the other? What happens when one kid is prettier? You always hear siblings say, ‘I’m the good one.’ It’s inevitable. What if the new kid gets all messed up like Jan Brady? Or even worse, Macaulay Culkin in, ‘The Good Son.’ You remember: “In a quiet town … In a comfortable home … In a perfect body … Evil can be as close as someone you love.’ It didn’t seem fair.”
